For me, i will definitely go to high spec if my budget allowed. The different is the spec as mention above. Some of the things we can mod ourself by getting low spec, but some of the things is we got money also unable to mod or it will be costly if we mod after that.

For example, keyless entry, HUD, lane departure warning, blind spot, adaptive bi-xenon headlight, auto headlamp and wiper sensor, pedal shift, navigator, automatic climate control, power seat, cruise control. This is the item you will unable to modify it with low spec. Unless you got money to mod it, why not get high spec? Original come with is better than you install after market.

Like 18" rim and leather seat you can easily change it if you want anytime. So what i want to say is those features on high spec is the things you unable to modify it.

For me, i feel worth on 15k different and even some of the features is not so useful, i still think is better i have all those rather than i don't have. This is the design on the car that come with the features itself.

If out of budget, think of it might be extend another year of loan and can get all you want.

Still need to press manually on your remote control to get in the car.

I don't think it can be added. Unless you can try ask mazda sc but sure will cost like a bomb. Need to add on and change the door handle as well.

I believe different SA had different offer. Some with freebies like umbrella, touch & go card, full tank. All those is cheap stuff. I think new m3 ckd don't have any discount at the moment as the car just launching. Probably you can ask for free tinted is more worth.

My SA have Llumar as tint partner. So I let them do it instead of bring the car myself and find tint shop. I notice some tint shop not pro enough to tint the window, sometime they not sure how to remove the door panel and some of them like not so confident to remove it. So with Llumar as the tint partner i guess they are expert in M3 as they do a lot. Some more all tint come with 5-7 years warranty. If bubble or peel off, can be claim without any cost. Now is see your SA offer you tint voucher or free tint for you. You need to check what type of tint they are giving to you. Important the tint must be useful and can reduce heat.

I agree with you. All brand car will have problem. No matter you buy cheap or expensive car as there is no car is 100% perfect. I also in HRV club and seen a lot of complain, and my family new CRV also have lot of problem and until now Honda still unable to solve. Bought 1 week before CNY and Honda say need to wait until end of May for KL technician arrive to test just decide what to claim. You say, Honda worse or not? Even everyone know H and T have a lot of SC around malaysia and with good service, but the problem still unable to solve. So, for me car is not drive forever. Dare to try it, if not happy, after 3-5 years can sell and buy another car.

You should press him kao kao. You can tell him you are not satisfy with his service and willing to cancel order. There is so many SA out there and you can seek for the faster commitment SA can give you. It launch on April, so i guess is within 2 months time from April. Even you book on Feb als need to count start from April.

It should need to remove the 4 door panel in order to tint. I not sure if nowadays the tint shop can tint the window without remove the door panel. Correct me if i am wrong. From my passed experience, it is. And i also do notice lot of tint shop do not know how to remove the door panel if the car is newly launch. Also worried they cannot assemble it back correctly and will caused lot of sound afterward. Later release 10 screws after assemble still got balance 2 screws. Hehe..

I think is depends on the tint shop skill. Some tint shop can tint very well and might not remove the door panel. Yeah, previously was sitting there waiting and watch they remove the door panel. Heart very pain when you see their hand is not soft and paksa paksa buka. Haha...sometime feel don't go and watch is better otherwise you will unable sit there and keep quiet. Sometime you watch, they are more pressure. Especially those tint shop who hire new guy/student who not enough professional skill.

Just visit any mazda showroom and test the cbu m3 will do.

Is all depends on you as you need to calculate your monthly commitment, your other loan such like housing, parents, insurance or children. If you are singles and no other commitment should be alright and have back up from family will be better. Also need to see if you are staying kl or other small town. If you are from kl, the expenses, petrol, tol might cost like a bomb. Also need kao lui, clubbing, drinks, movie, etc...

What is the purposed you buy M3, maybe if it can help on your work as you keep travelling during your work and can make you earn more money in future, then it should be ok. Or you just drive to work, back home then is a bit waste. Car is always our kuli. So think of it and all the above is only my personal opinion.

Congrats! Upload some of your new babe picture to share your happiness with us.

I totally agree with you.

Any M3 owner from Muar and Batu Pahat?

Please post some photo for the bodykit and advise the price/material.

I totally agree with you. M3 is quite perfect car in term of brand, specs and features. The only make this car look bad is the aircond knob. I know this is different with kancil as this is digital function as well. Just it does not have a display on the digital mode. If this panel can be change or replace with the pic shown, it is worth to change to get a better look. Probably the dual zone might not function (i guess) but if single zone will do good for me too. Or maybe there is any aircond panel for M3 with single zone?

Maybe SA can order and i guess is plug and play. Just need to know the price. If rm1k over, i believe still got people will change it. What you guys think??

Actually i tot M3 come with this as the catalogues show like this.

Did any M3 user install Driving Recorder (DVR) and did a very nice wire management? Mostly the DVR need plug into the cigarette lighter socket and the wiring look messy, somemore our M3 socket is inside the center console box. Did anyone install it with perfect wiring? Please share your though.

Do you aware the knob they modify is for low spec ckd? I am not refering to after market as the panel is currently use by M6 and CX-5. So is a common item. Void warranty? No problem at all.

I agree with you. I know the function is no different, just only the look with display. The look really 1 sky 1 ground....haha

No choice lo. Malaysia M3 is like this. Actually during CKD launch, i tot it will be dual zone for CKD as all the feature is completed, but....still a "haizzzzz"

No, you are wrong. It does not apply in CBU unit as well. Only the brochures show so. CBU and CKD have the same aircond knob.
